Critics Review
Another fantastic twisty-turny novel by one of my favourite authors. I am always enthralled by her books and this is her best yet
Another fantastic twisty-turny novel by one of my favourite authors. I am always enthralled by her books and this is her best yet * Jill Mansell *
Sheer perfection. THE TROPHY CHILD is gripping, darkly funny and bound to induce spasms of guilt in even the least pushy parent. I can’t remember the last time I was so enthralled. I want to stand on a mountain top and tell everyone to read this brilliant novel * Mark Edwards *
The UK’s answer to Liane Moriarty. Amazing. * Claire McGowan *
Kept me guessing right until the end. I devoured it. * Claire Douglas *
Unravels to reveal a surprising and gripping read … Daly expertly crafts a thriller from within the walls of domestic life and shows how tragedy uproots the illusions and pretences of idyllic family life. * Eastern Daily Press *
Daly has created a particularly monstrous “tiger mother” in Karen Bloom … Entertaining and insightful. * Daily Mail *
Paula Daly bases her intricate, emotional domestic noir in seemingly ordinary suburbia and, set in the idyllic Lake District, The Trophy Child shows the turmoil underlying perfection … While this is family life at its darkest, Daly’s multifaceted but unlikeable characters are still shockingly relatable. The result is a fast-paced, enjoyable and suspenseful drama. * Daily Express *
A terrific page turner. * Guardian *
